Like the previous comment I was stupid enough to install the update and the same things happened to me. First my phone froze up and after 1.5 hours with tech support we had to do a factory reinstall. Try recoverinng your contacts and data after that. Now my colors are so dark I can’t use some of the applications. It has some automatic features that interfer with my normal use. It placed application icons permanently on the screen so close together that each time I try to use the phone or the browser I hit more than one and need to make numerous attempts to only select the app I want. I hate it. I want the old OS back. How can I do that? Anybody help with that? Verizon says sorry, LG says talk to Google and Google could give a rats a**. What a great smart phone.
